Zanzibar to Organize a Half Marathon race to Promote Gender Mainstreaming, Attain Sustainable Development Goal


More than 300 Zanzibari women, men, girls and boys are expected to participate in the race ZANZI HALF scheduled to take place on February 4th, 2018 in Stone Town in the Isles.
ZANZI HALF is an international standard sporting and cultural event featuring a half marathon of 10 km and 5 km distances to be staged for the first time in the East African archipelago of Zanzibar with ethe view to highlighting women's empowerment and gender equality.
The race is a response to the 2030 agenda for sustainable development with a call out for action in the world, and is organized by the local interfaith women´s program Upendo Means Love and the Danish NGO and running community Right to Movement in collaboration with ZIFF, Zanzibar International Film Festival (ZIFF) and Zanzibar Amateur Athletic Association (ZAAA).
Women and girls are at the very heart of the agenda in an acknowledgement that their participation is crucial as a pre-condition for the achievement of sustainable development, says one of the organizer,Ms Lotte Bredholt. The race will bring together women and men from the grass root level united in a movement that will translate into further action, transforming gender norms by challenging existing traditional roles, taboo and break down stereotypes showing women and girls as active agents of change and peace. However, sustainability and equality is only achievable if women and men work together.
“Running is empowering” continues Lotte Bredholt, “when women and girls realize their potential and strength on the track and on the streets, there is a spillover effect to other areas of life”. Running is a tool as well for inter-community dialogue continues Lotte Bredholt. Besides the race event, ZANZI HALF encourages local society, rural and urban, to take up running and to be part of a running community. In the meeting between people, sharing experience and passion for a common activity, socio cultural, religious and gender barriers diminish. “It´s a commitment to enhance diversity and inclusion, and is part of the global agenda for sustainable development”.
Fumba Town Development, a project by CPS (FTD),issponsoring the event as part of their support for socio-economic development in Zanzibar. Fumba Town Development combines state-of-the-art residential properties, based on a modern and sustainable infrastructure, with commercial, educational and recreational areas to create a new, modern lifestyle in Zanzibar.
As part of our community development initiatives, we are proud to have teamed up with Zanzihalf for their initial half-marathon on February 4th. We are very excited about the upcoming event and are already training as Fumba Town Team to take part in the race. With regular participants of about 30 runners from our company and the villagers around, we already make an impact towards bringing the communities together.
The Zanzibar Amateur Athletic Association welcomes a race which brings awareness to the role of sport empowering women, however as MlingiBwire points out, a proper half marathon also should have cash prices to attract the elite runners. Though not big, the tree first runners from the two distances 10k and half marathon will be rewarded with a price. All participants will receive a medal.

WATANZANIA WAMETAKIWA KUENZI UTAMADUNI WETU KUKUZA FURSA ZA UTALII WA KIUTAMADUNI

Na Eleuteri Mangi, WHUSM, Mbulu


Watanzania wametakiwa kuenzi mila na desturi ambazo ni chanya wazitunze na kuzitumia ili kujenga jamii yenye maadili mema nchini kwa manufaa ya kizazi cha sasa na baadaye.


Hayo yamesemwa na Naibu Waziri wa Wizara ya Habari, Utamaduni, Sanaa na Michezo Anastazia Wambura alipotembelea Kituo cha Pembe Nne za Utamaduni (4CCP) Haydom wilaya Mbulu mkoani Manyara ambapo amejionea utajiri wa kiutamaduni wenye fursa za utalii wa kiutamaduni.


“Nimetembelea nyumba za asili zilizopo hapa katika kituo hiki nimefurahishwa sana na utajiri wa kiutamaduni uliopo hapa, wazee walizingatia maadili katika kuwalea watoto wao kulingana na mila na desturi zao, ni vema tuenzi utamaduni wetu, huo ni msingi wa maadili mema ya jamii” alisema Naibu Waziri Wambura


Akitolea mfano wa maadili mema yanayopaswa kurithishwa aliyojionea katika kituo cha 4CCP na namna ambavyo watoto waliheshimu nyumba za wazazi wao, Naibu Waziri Wambura amesema kuwa kwa mujibu wa mila na desturi za Kitanzani suala la ulevi na utumiaji wa tumbaku kwa vijana ilikuwa ni mwiko hadi kijana afikie umri wa utu uzima ambapo anaweza kuwa na maamuzi sahihi katika maisha yake yenye kuwa na tija kwa familia.


“Kabla ya kuoa kijana alikuwa haruhusiwi kutumia tumbaku na kunywa pombe, bali kijana akioa na kuwa na watoto wawili kwa mujibu wa mila za makabila ya yaliyopo Mbulu aliruhusiwa kuingia katika kundi la watu wazima na kuruhusiwa kutumia vitu mbalimbali ikiwemo tumbaku na kinywaji cha pombe. Hapa kuna jambo la Watanzania kujifunza na kutunza ili kuondokana na mmomonyoko wa maadili” alisema Naibu Waziri Wambura.


Mila za jamii zilizo njema zinapaswa kutunzwa na kuendelezwa ili ziweze kusaidia vijana na jamii kwa ujumla kuweka mawazo yao katika shughuli za maendeleo pamoja na kupatia familia zao mahitaji ya kila siku.


Naibu Waziri Wambura alisisitiza kuwa mila hizo hazitakiwi kuachwa bali zainatakiwa kuenziwa, kutunzwa, kuendelezwa na kuhifadhiwa kwa manufaa ya sasa ziweze kuchangia katika kukuza utalii wa kiutamaduni ambao ni moja ya vyanzo vya mapato kwa wanajamii na taifa kwa ujumla.


Aidha, Naibu Waziri Wambura alisema kuwa wilaya ya Mbulu ni tajiri katika masuala ya utamaduni na kuongeza kuwa wilaya hiyo ni mdau muhimu katika sekta ya michezo na utamaduni ambazo zinapaswa kuendelezwa kwa manufaa ya taifa.


Kwa upande wake Mbunge wa Mbulu Vijijini Flatei Massay amesema kuwa wilaya hiyo imekuwa na utamaduni wa kufanya tamasha la utamaduni kila mwaka ambapo mwaka huu lilifanyika tarehe 21 hadi 23 mwezi Septemba na inaedelea kuimarisha umoja, mshikamano na ushirikiano miongoni mwa jamii katika masuala mbalimbali ya maendeleo hatua inayopelekea makabila yote kuwa mstari wa mbele katika kudumisha amani ya nchi.


Mbunge huyo aliyataja makabila yanayotokana na makundi makuu manne yanayopatikana wilaya ya Mbulu kuwa ni pamoja na Wairaqw ambao ni jamii ya Wakushi, Wahadzabe jamii ya Khoisan, Wanyiramba na Wanyisanzu jamii ya wabantu na Wadatooga jamii ya Kiniloti.


Naye Mkuu wa wilaya ya Mbulu Chelestino Mofuga amemhakikishia Naibu Waziri Wambura kuwa wilaya hiyo itaendelea kuenzi sekta ya utamaduni kwa kuwa na tamasha la utamaduni linalokutanisha makabila yote wilyani humo wakati wa maadhimisho ya Siku ya Uanuwai wa Utamaduni duniani ambayo hufanyika mwezi Mei tarehe 21 kila mwaka.


Hatua hiyo inatokana na Tanzania kusaini mkataba wa azimio la Umoja wa Mataifa (UN) kuenzi utamaduni na kuheshimu tamaduni za watu wengine chini unaosimamiwa na Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Elimu, Sayansi na Utamaduni (UNESCO).


Mwaka 2002 Umoja wa Mataifa uliamua kuanzisha maadhimisho ya siku ya Utamaduni Duniani kutokana na kuongezeka kwa migogoro, mapigano na kupotea kwa maisha ya watu na mali zao iliyokuwa inatokea sehemu mbalimbali duniani mwishoni mwa miaka ya 1990.
